ahhhh, see.  therein lies the dilema.

i've got gtkmm 2 installed and working just fine.  my problem is that i'm 
really wanting to try out an application that was built using gtkmm 1.2.9 .  
when i try to configure it, it is asking me for the 'gtkmm-config' file, 
which i don't think made it to verision 2.x of gtkmm.  so, since i've been 
running around in circles here trying to install the most arcane versions of 
compilers and various libraries, what is the real problem?? i believe that 
if i could get 1.2.9 to install, then i could use the program.  i also 
believe that it is possible, but could be wrong, to install older versions 
of gcc and use the '-version' or some similar flag to attempt to compile 
with that version of gcc.  do you have any idea what would be a good version 
for gcc to start with for compiling 1.2.9 of gtkmm??  man, all this 
spinnning around in circles is making me dizzy :)      Thanks for all the 
great help, Murray!!!

cheers,
